Histopathologic pictures of the metastatic HCC. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining showed tumor cells infiltrate in the bony trabeculae
and soft tissue (A and E). There were two patterns of tumor cells (A and E). Histopathologic
pictures of the metastatic HCC. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining showed tumor
cells infiltrate in the bony trabeculae and soft tissue (A and E). There were two
patterns of tumor cells (A and E). The carcinomatous tumor cells with pleomorphic
nuclei and abundant cytoplasm arranged in solid sheets and nests were positive for
HepPar-1 and cytokeratin-7 (CK7) staining (B and C). The carcinomatous tumor cells
also demonstrate sinusoidal vascular stroma highlighted by CD34 (D). The other sarcomatous
cells with little cytoplasm arranged in the myxo-chondroid background were positive
for vimentin, SMA, and S-100 protein staining (F to H). These features are compatible
with a metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma with sarcomatous change. Magnification:
